Sometimes gnome-panel pegs a CPU at 100% and is unresponsive until being killed and (automatically) restarted. This occurs most often when I'm using Gimp or Inkscape, although I believe I've seen it at other times. If I leave gimp / inkscape running during a kill/restart cycle, sometimes gnome-panel enters the same state immediately on restart. This may be related to bug#92293. I can try to acquire an strace of gnome-panel if that will be of use. dhm@voodoo$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04.2 Release: 8.04 dhm@voodoo$ apt-cache policy gnome-panel gnome-panel: Installed: 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu1.1 Candidate: 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu1.1 Version table: *** 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu1.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:2.22.1.2-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages dhm@voodoo$ apt-cache policy gimp gimp: Installed: 2.4.6-1ubuntu1~hardy1 Candidate: 2.4.6-1ubuntu1~hardy1 Version table: *** 2.4.6-1ubuntu1~hardy1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-backports/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.4.5-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages dhm@voodoo$ apt-cache policy inkscape inkscape: Installed: 0.46-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 0.46-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 0.46-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.45.1-1ubuntu4~feisty1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty-backports/main Packages dhm@voodoo$ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/331704/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
